This architectural work of art is one the world’s largest
mosques, with a capacity for an astonishing 41,000 worshippers. It
features 82 domes, over a 1,000 columns, 24 carat gold gilded
chandeliers and the world's largest hand knotted carpet. The main
prayer hall is dominated by one of the world’s largest chandeliers –10
metres in diameter, 15 metres in height and weighing twelve tonnes. The
mosque's first ceremony was the funeral of its namesake, Sheikh Zayed,
who is buried at the site.

Reflective pools surround the mosque, amplifying its beauty. The
striking white and gold colours shining in the sun are transformed at
night by a unique lightning system which reflects the phases of the
moon.

Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black
heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and
a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have
brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests.

Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often
doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a
sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They
breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely
in winter.

The sea is an essential part of Helsinki. It surrounds the city on
three sides: the South, the East and the West. There are around 330
islands off the coast of Helsinki, and many are accessible for
recreational use.

In Helsinki it is possible to enjoy the sea even without your own boat.
Archipelago cruises depart from the Market Square throughout the
summer, and you can also catch a relaxing ferry to the Helsinki Zoo on
Korkeasaari Island and to the idyllic town of Porvoo.
